~ All of my life ~
​

All of my life, I've been searching
For the words to say how I feel.
I'd spend my time thinking too much
And leave too little to say what I mean
I've tried to understand the best I can
All of my life.

All of my life, I've been saying sorry
For the things I know I should have done
All the things I could have said come back to me
Sometimes I wish that it had just begun
Seems I'm always that lil' too late
All of my life

Set 'em up, I'll take a drink with you
Pull up a chair, I think I'll stay
Set 'em up, cos I'm going nowhere
There's too much I need to remember, and there's too much I need to say

All of my life, I've been looking
But it's hard to find the way
Reaching past the goal in front of me
While what's important just slips away
It doesn't come back but I'll be looking
All of my life

Set 'em up, I'll take a drink with you
Pull up a chair, I think I'll stay
Set 'em up, cos I'm going nowhere
There's too much I need to remember, and there's too much I need to say

All of my life, there have been regrets
That I didn't do all I could
Making records upstairs, while he watched tv
I didn't spend the time I should
It's a memory I will live with
All of my life.

Both side of story

Both side of story

Find yourself in a gutter, in a lonely part of town
Where death waits in the darkness, with a
weapon, to cut some strangers down.
Sleeping with an empty bottle, he's a sad and empty hearted man.
All he need is a job, a little respect, so he can
get out while he can.

Ohh! We always need to hear both sides of the
story.

A neighbourhood peace is shattered,
it's the middle of the night.
Young faces hide in the
shadows,
while they watch their father and mother fight.
He says she's been unfaithful,
she says her love for him has gone.
The brother shruggus to his
sister and says "looks like it's just us from now
on"

Ohh! We always need to hear both sides of the
story.

And the lights are all on, the world is watching
now People looking for truth, we must not fail
them now Be sure before you close your eyes Don't
walk away from here till you see both sides

 

[sendi]

That's how I feel

That's how I feel

Well I've been waiting so long
I've been waiting so patiently
Out of the blue you call
You're leaving him to be with me now

Now maybe I'm right, or maybe I'm wrong
Oh, I gotta know now
I'll take what you got, so you'd better hold on
You'd better believe it

Cos that's how I feel when I'm in your arms
That's how I feel when I'm with you
You make me feel like never before
That's how I feel when I'm with you

He doesn't treat you good
He doesn't say the things that I say
So when he turns around
You're gonna stab him in the
back and then walk away

Now maybe I'm right, or maybe I'm wrong
Oh, I gotta know now
I'll take what you got, so you'd better hold on
You'd better believe it

Cos that's how I feel when I'm in your arms
That's how I feel when I'm with you
You make me feel like never before
That's how I feel when I'm with you

You've been away too long
And now you're coming home
But I won't believe it until
I'm holding you tight, tight, tight tonight

Now maybe I'm right, or maybe I'm wrong
Oh, I gotta know now
I'll take what you got, so you'd better hold on
You'd better believe it

Cos that's how I feel when I'm in your arms
That's how I feel when I'm with you
You make me feel like never before
That's how I feel when I'm with you

That's how I feel when I'm in your arms
(That's how I feel when I'm with you) ooh, yeah
That's how I feel when I'm in your arms
That's how I feel when I'm with you

That's how I feel when I'm with you

AIN'T TOO PROUD TO BEG

AIN'T TOO PROUD TO BEG


I know you wanna leave me,
But I refuse to let you go
If I have to beg and plead for your sympathy,
I don't mind coz' you mean that much to me

Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darlin
Please don't leave me girl, don't you go
Ain't to proud to plead, baby, baby
Please don't leave me, girl, don't you go

Now I heard a cryin' man,
Is half a man with no sense of pride
But if I have to cry to keep you,
I don't mind weepin' if it'll keep you by my side

Ain't to proud to beg, sweet darlin
Please don't leave me girl, don't you go
Ain't to proud to plead, baby, baby
Please don't leave me girl, don't you go

If I have to sleep on your doorstep
All night and day just to keep you from walkin' away
Let your friends laugh, even this I can stand
Because I want to keep you any way I can

Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darlin'
Please don't leave me girl, don't you go
Ain't to proud to plead, baby, baby
Please don't leave me girl, don't you go

Now I've gotta love so deep in the pit of my heart
And each day it grows more and more
I'm not ashamed to come and plead to you baby
If pleadin' keeps you from walkin' out that door

Ain't too proud to beg, you know it sweet darlin'
Please don't leave me girl, don't you go
Ain't to proud to plead, baby, baby
Please don't leave me girl, don't you go
Baby, baby, baby, baby (sweet darling)

ALWAYS

ALWAYS


Dreams will all come true
Being here with you
And time will fly
Caring each day more
Than the day before
Till spring rolls by
And when the springtime has gone
Will my love linger on

'Cause I'll be loving you
Always
With a love that's true
Always
When the things that you plan
Need a helping hand
I will understand
Always, always

Days may not be fair
Always
But that's when I'll be there
Always
Not for just an hour
No, no, not for just a day
Not for just a year
Oh but always

Days may not be fair
Always
But that's when I'll be there
Always
Not for just an hour
No, no, not for just a day
Not for just a year
Oh but always

Until forever is through
Until there's just me and you
Always
Oh always

BEHIND THE LINES

BEHIND THE LINES


I held the book so tightly in my hands
I saw your picture, heard you call my name
It was strange I could not look away
I had to be there, I wanted to go

You gave me no reason, you gave me no warning
But I was with you, by your side
Give me the strength, so I can help you
And I can be strong now, they don't frighten me

It's written in the book
The sun is hotter than before, but inside it's cold, I
wonder why
But if the fire within your heart can beat the storm
Well I believe we can make it right

It's time now, to show our feelings
Looking through you, your heart's empty
Whatever happened to you, you can't change it
No where to run to, please, oh please don't let me down

But wait a minute I don't understand
It's getting stronger, hold my hand
Don't want to leave you I don't want to go
But I'm a' losing all control

Can't you see me I'm slipping away
I can only stay if you've the will
To keep me here, oh Lord
It's written in the book

I held the book so tightly in my hands
I saw your picture, heard you call my name
Oh and even though we never, never touched
I keep waiting for you just the same

BIG NOISE

BIG NOISE


Just set your sight high
Look 'em right in the eye and take it
And make a big, big, big noise
Don't ask why
Just take it wise and making it
Make that a big, big, big, big noise

You can feel it in the air
Feel it everywhere
There's a spirit moving
At just look, it's all around you

Just take a look around you people, stars [Unverified] to lose it
'Cause if you wanted you gotta go get it
Just to listen up
If there's something that you need
You better believe

Just set your sight high
Look 'em right in the eye and take it
And make a big, big, big noise
Don't ask why
Just take it wise and making it
Make that a big, big, big, big noise

Better make your play
Don't let her think like right or wrong, get it
'Cause there's nothing to it if you just
If you reach out and do it, it'll be okay

Just catch yourself a piece of the action
Just to listen up
If there's something that you need
You better believe

Just set your sight high
Look 'em right in the eye and take it
And make a big, big, big noise
Don't ask why
Just take it wise and making it
Make that a big, big, big, big noise

'Cause if you wanted you gotta go get it
Just to listen up
If there's something that you need
You better believe

Just set your sight high
Look 'em right in the eye and take it
And make a big, big, big noise
Don't ask why
Just take it wise and making it

BILLY DON'T LOSE MY NUMBER

BILLY DON'T LOSE MY NUMBER


They came at night leaving fear behind
Shadows were on the ground
Well nobody knew where to find him
No evidence was found
"I'm never coming back" they heard him cry
And I believe him
Well he never meant to do anything wrong
It's gonna get worse if he waits too long

Billy, Billy don't you lose my number
Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you
Oh now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number
Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh no

Searching through the day and into the night
They wouldn't stop til they found him
They didn't know him and they didn't understand
They never asked him why
"Get out of my way" they heard him shout
Then a blinding light
Oh all I could see was him running down the street
Out of the shadows and into the night

Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number
Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh
Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number
Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh

Don't give up, keep running, keep hiding
Don't give up Billy, if you know you're right
Don't give up, you know that I am on your side
Don't give up, oh Billy, you better, you better, you better run for your life

Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number
Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh
Oh now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number
Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh

They came at night leaving fear behind
Shadows were on the ground
Nobody knew where to find him
No evidence was found
"I'm never coming back" they heard him cry
And I believe him
He never meant to do anything wrong
It's gonna get worse if he waits too long

Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number
Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh
Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number
Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh
Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number
Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh
Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number
Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you

BLAME IT ON THE SUN

BLAME IT ON THE SUN


Where has my love gone?
How can I go on?
It seems dear love has gone away

Where is my spirit?
I'm nowhere near it,
Oh yes, my love has gone astray

But I'll blame it on the sun,
The sun that didn't shine,
I'll blame it on the wind and the trees

I'll blame it on the time that never was enough,
I'll blame it on the tide and the sea,
But, my heart blames it on me

Who poured the love out?
What made this bitter doubt?
Is peace not here for me to see?

Wish I could tell you,
What I am feeling,
But, words won't come for me to speak

But I'll blame it on the sun,
That didn't fill the sky,
I'll blame it on the birds and the trees

I'll blame it on the day that ended once too soon,
I'll blame it on the nights that could not be,
But, my heart blames it on me

Yeh, yeh, yeh, ooh,
Your heart blames it on you this time

CAN'T FIND MY WAY

CAN'T FIND MY WAY


I've been doing some thinking
here on my own.
It's been on my mind.
This debt love to you.
I have to repay in kind.

But I can't find my way.

Tired and weary
I follow the path
that leads to your door.
But it occurred to me
all that I have
is already yours.

But I can't find my way

Oh
just to sit awhile
Oh
just to sit and watch you smile

But I can't find my way

Keep the faith you say
to keep the faith I pray.
Be strong you say
just follow the light.

Wheels keep turning but the closer I get
the farther I seen.
Peace will only come
finding the peace within.

But I can't find my way
